Is Lille Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel

You can go to Lille from Paris by taking a bus or a train. I took a 3h bus and was really quick. One you get there you can walk around and see all main attractions that are closed to the city center. Food is not expensive. You should try les moulles with french fries and the go to have some dessert in a bakery store but not the gouffre cause it's really thing and small that's not worth the price. To finish you can go to the Citadelle a nice park to have some rest and a drink. I would recommend to do this just in a day cause there's no more else to do after that

Group travel

I want to talk about my experience in Lille because it was the first time I was hosted by a girl I had met online. I was with my roommate and our host let us stay for two nights in her place, she was such a lovely person to talk to and we could trust each other completely! I am very grateful for this experience and I hope I can do it again in the future. Lille is a beautiful city with cool architecture and some museums that we really enjoyed. The people are really nice too. I recommend it!

In Lille, I feel relatively safe, especially in the bustling city center. There are crowds and a good atmosphere. But like everywhere, you have to be careful of pickpockets and avoid certain neighborhoods at night. Nothing alarming, you just have to stay vigilant.

Some places are risky but overall it's safe. Public transport is quite disturbing sometimes with crackheads and homeless/drunk people. But it's fine they are not harmfull and there are other people to feel safe and surrounded. I feel safe walking in the street.
